Eleventh grade students from the Rocky Mount Preparatory School in North Carolina had been well prepared for the Pierce Street dig by their teacher Jill Foster. The result was a rich hands-on learning experience for the students and a much appreciated, substantial contribution to this year's field effort. Twelve students and six archaeologists from William and Mary excavated five 1 x 2 meter (3.3 x 6.6 feet) test units, a useful sample from this promising site.
